Observations:
- First act consisted of songs mostly from their seventh album on which the tour was based, "Beautiful Deformity"
- First act also featured two songs from their fourth album "DIM" (2009), two songs from their second album "NIL" (2006), and one song from their sixth album "DIVISION" (2012)
- Second act consisted of older songs that I consider "live staples" since most of these songs are played at all their lives, almost religiously
- RIDE with the ROCKERS is a bass/drum track that then progresses to include the two guitars, no vocals. This song has been performed since their Decomposition Beauty Tour (circa 2007), but the arrangement is always different though the name is kept the same
- Second act include two songs from their fifth album "TOXIC" (2011) and two songs from their third album "STACKED RUBBISH" (2007)
- The last two songs were songs that were released on singles only, never a full album
- Traditional finale song of LINDA ~candydive Pinky heaven~

First act consisted of a lot of imagery. Three triangular screens showed song lyrics, pictures, and other imagery. The last song on the first act, CODA, which is also the outro song on the album "Beautiful Deformity", was accompanied by a 3D overlay that showed images consistent with the style of the that album.
